Australian universities should be barred from partnering with over 100 Chinese schools due to military ties – think tank

CANBERRA (Reuters) - Australian universities should be barred from partnering with more than 100 Chinese counterparts because they have close ties with the military in Beijing, a leading think tank has said.

Australian universities earlier this month pledged to consider any military ties that a higher education facility has when considering joint research projects as part of Canberra's drive to limit foreign interference.
